HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. — Adam & Eve has released new results from adameve.com’s annual sex survey, where they asked over 1,000 adults how long they actually spend on foreplay.
While 29% of those polled (27% of the females and 32% of the males) said that foreplay lasted 10 to 20 minutes on average, nearly 45% of the respondents (44.58% of the females and 45.14% of the males) said their usual foreplay clocked in between just 5 and 10 minutes.
That's right: almost half of the respondents spend as much time warming things up as they do waiting for an Uber or Lyft on a medium-busy night.
Nearly 14% of those polled (16.26% of the females and 10.48% of the males) said foreplay usually lasted less than five minutes, and 12.56% of the respondents (12.41% of the females and 13.14% of the males) said foreplay averaged more than 20 minutes.
“It’s unfortunate that a so many people look at foreplay as a means to an end,” said Dr. Jenni Skyler, resident sexologist at Adam & Eve. “I encourage couples to take it slowly, enjoy the time leading up to intercourse and use this period to communicate and engage one another.”
The company’s Director of Marketing, Chad Davis explained that “Adam & Eve carries a wide variety of products for adults in all stages and types of relationships.”
“From massage oils to toys and games, adameve.com is a judgement-free retail space for everyone,” Davis added.
Conducted by an independent third party survey company, the web-based survey of over 1,000 American adults age 18 and up, was sponsored by Adam & Eve to study sexual preferences and practices.
